Who we are

Game Summit launched in Fall 2008 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario; the first of many Game Summit events, opening the doors to table-top gamers of all kinds. Since then, each event has offered plenty of space for board gamers and more serious hobbyists to play table-top games, shop, and attend painting clinics and information sessions. Game Summit’s target demographic ranges from hardcore gamers to casual gamers; ages 7 and up. It’s our hope to evolve and expand the scope of Game Summit through successive events, to include a wider variety of games and ultimately make a place for everyone who enjoys them. Game Summit is a production lead by volunteers from the gaming community. We’d like to invite you to participate in the emergence of a new gaming tradition in Canada.

What is happening this year

We are excited to announce that Game Summit 2018 will be held at the Palais des Congrès de Gatineau giving us over 40 000 square feet of gaming goodness! The 2018 event follows on the heels of our successful past summits and spotlights even more editors, vendors, activities and contests, all together in one location. Casual and hardcore gamers, hobbyists and geeks alike will be busy at this top-flight convention from the moment the doors open, until closing time. The Palais des Congrès de Gatineau is located only 5 minutes from downtown Ottawa.
